    International touring artist J.D. (Jacob Douglas) Crosstown, grew up in Neyaashiinigmiing, the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation. Crosstown describes his own music as traditional folk, country/blues, and says that he, “hopes that his songs give people a place to lean back on too.” Crosstown is a storyteller and captures the poignancy of a time and place, of heartbreak, loss, hope, love, adventure and friendship.
